Babylips Electro in Pink Shock

I am a huge lover of the original Baby lips range so when I spotted these electro versions hanging up in Superdrug I nearly let out a little scream. My Superdrug only seemed to have two shades; a bright pink and a bright orange. I opted for the pink one, otherwise known as 'Pink Shock' as I don't suit orange shades. The packaging of these is pretty much the the same as the original line up, only all lip balms in the electro range are in this black casing allowing the neon baby lips logo to really stand out. 

The balm itself is rather scary looking although once swatched it's clear that this is a much more wearable shade than the neon packaging lets on. Considering this is marketed as a lip balm I was quite impressed with the pigmentation of 'Pink Shock', and have found this to be both moisturising on the lips and really easy to wear. 'Pink Shock' transfers to the lip as a pretty pink shade, although I've noticed you can layer this on to get a more intense brighter look. As with all Babylips the wear time isn't amazing (an hour or two at most) although it smells so good you'll want to reapply throughout  the day!

There's no lip swatch today as my cameras is dead and I really wanted to share this launch with you as soon as I could! Although if you're desperate to see it on the lips there are loads of pictures of this on google simply type in 'pink shock babylips' into the image search bar and you'll discover many! You can pick these up for just £2.99 at selected Maybelline stockists, Will you be adding an Electro Babylips to your collection?

EOS Summer Fruit Lip Balm

When I first heard about EOS lip balms  I knew had to have one. The idea of a sphere shaped lip balm spoke to my inner child. So I began searching the Internet for a price that didn't make my eyes water. The actual EOS store seemed really reasonable costing just $3.29 per lip balm, Until of course you get to the check out and see the $15.00 flat rate - Are they giving it its own private jet?

 My search lead me to Ebay, where I found the lip balm for £4.70 including shipping, Never in a million years did I think I'd waste so much on a lip balm but curiosity got the better of me in this one.

The thing I love most about this product is the packaging; not only does it break the whole duck face routine when putting on lip balm in public, I can simply pop it into my bag with no fear that it will be harmed thanks to the sturdy packaging. The lip balm itself glides on perfectly to my lips, they feel instantly moisturised. At first I hated the Summer fruit smell/favour, But once I got past the first layer that faded and I was left with just a hint of this while applying.

I'm undecided weather I would buy again, I know this product will probably last me a while. Although at £4.70 a pop its not exactly cheep. While I love the whole idea of the product but I feel myself asking is it really worth a fiver?! I guess only time will tell. On a final note If you live in the UK I recommend using this buyer, I ordered my lip balm on Wednesday night, and to my surprise It was here buy Friday morning!
